What are you gonna use for an electric pump?

It's leaking some oil, and I'd rather clean up the appearance than have a derelict part just hanging there. The plates are cheap, $7-$15.

I'm changing to fuel injection, so I'm going to be using a Walbro high pressure pump, with a by-pass fuel pressure regulator. My idea is to mount the FPR on the block off plate and use the stock fuel pipes.
